Download Trino JDBC Driver
What Is a JDBC Driver?
A JDBC driver is a Java library file (.jar) that enables Java applications — including DbSchema — to communicate with a database over a standard API. The driver translates generic JDBC calls into the network protocol understood by Trino, so you never have to write low-level socket code. Drivers are typically distributed by the database vendor or as open-source projects.
Understanding the JDBC URL
Every JDBC driver identifies the target database through a connection URL. The URL encodes the hostname, port, database name, and any driver-specific parameters as a single string. The exact syntax varies per driver — the details for Trino are listed in the section below.

Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) is a distributed SQL query engine designed for fast, interactive analytics across heterogeneous data sources. It federates queries across databases, object storage, and data lakehouse formats such as Hive, Iceberg, and Delta Lake through a catalog-based connector architecture. Trino is optimized for ad-hoc analytical queries at petabyte scale without requiring data movement.
Trino JDBC Driver Details
- Required File(s): trino-jdbc-xxx.jar
- Java Driver Class: io.trino.jdbc.TrinoDriver
- JDBC URL: jdbc:trino://{HOST}:{PORT}[/{DB}]
- Website: Trino
Trino coordinator listens on port 8080 by default. The JDBC URL can optionally specify a catalog and schema: jdbc:trino://coordinator:8080/hive/default. Authentication options include no-auth, basic (password), certificate, JWT, and Kerberos.
DbSchema and Trino
DbSchema connects to Trino using the Trino JDBC driver, discovering schemas from all configured Trino catalogs (Hive, Iceberg, Delta Lake, TPCH, and others), and enabling federated SQL authoring across multiple data sources through a single unified interface.

Explore Trino Visually with DbSchema
Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your Trino database and gives you a full graphical workbench — no command-line required. Available as a free Community Edition and a full-featured PRO Edition. No registration needed to get started.
Interactive ER Diagrams
Reverse-engineer your Trino schema into a drag-and-drop ER diagram. Arrange tables visually, add new columns, define foreign keys, and let DbSchema generate the DDL — all without writing SQL by hand.
Visual Query Builder
Compose Trino queries by clicking on tables and columns — no SQL knowledge required. Add joins, filters, groupings, and aggregations through a point-and-click interface, then copy the generated SQL or run it directly against the live database.
Relational Data Explorer
Browse Trino table data and follow foreign key relationships across tables in a single view. Edit cells inline, filter rows, and paginate through large datasets — all without leaving the explorer.
Schema Synchronization
Compare your Trino schema across development, staging, and production environments. DbSchema generates the exact ALTER statements needed to close the gap and lets you review every change before executing — reducing the risk of unintended schema drift.
SQL Editor
Write and execute Trino queries in the integrated SQL editor with schema-aware autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and instant result display. Run scripts, inspect execution plans, and export results to CSV or JSON from a single interface.
HTML Schema Documentation
Generate a static HTML site documenting every table, column, type, index, and relationship in your Trino schema. Share it with your team or embed it in your project wiki — no extra tooling required.
